The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Toba Kento offered to send coffee upstairs, and Hakuba Tan and Conan were immediately alert.

The two immediately followed Kento Toba out of the living room, quietly climbed up the stairs to the second floor, and stood around the corner of the stairs to watch.

Bang, bang, bang

Kento Toba knocked on the door with a cup of coffee. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

After a few seconds, the study door opened, and Toba Kento walked in carrying coffee.

With a bang, the door closed.

Detective Baima and Conan quickly and quietly ran to the door, leaning their ears against the door to listen.

The two people, one tall and one short, are just offset from each other, very harmonious.

In the room, Qin Zhibo had just closed the "Research on Green Letters".

From a plot perspective, this is the most unique and creative Sherlock Holmes fan work he has ever seen.

Especially the plot twist at the end was unexpected by Qin Zhibo.

The exchange of identities and positions, an upside-down world full of chaotic logic.

For example, when Lestrade sighed, he did not say "my God" as Westerners often say, but "my stars" with unknown meaning.

And when I went to see the queen, I saw a group of tentacle queens entrenched in the dark shadow.

Where humans are touched by the queen's tentacles, their muscles will heal, as if the queen has some healing power.

These seemingly chaotic logics seem to be another "real" world specially created by the hotel owner.

It’s just that the people who rule this world are not humans, but some indescribable things.

"The Black Lord of Egypt", "Ancient Goat", "Father of All", "Holy Tsar", "Emperor of All China", "White Lady of the Permafrost of Antarctica".

These beings called "ancient gods" seem to rule the world in the novel, and when these beings come, the pale and yellow moon of the original world turns into a "comfortable and pleasant" ruby.

The scarlet moon is rising.

Qin Zhibo slowly put down "A Study of Green Characters" and looked back at Kento Toba who came in with coffee.

"What? Are you here to confess a crime?"

As soon as Qin Zhibo opened his mouth, Toba Kento was stunned with fear.

But then, Kento Toba regained his composure and pretended to be relaxed: "Mr. Qin was joking, I'm just here to deliver coffee."

Saying that, Toba Kento put the coffee on the table and saw the "Research on the Green Letter" on the table.

Toba Kento's eyes moved slightly, but he did not say anything. Instead, he took out a white card from his arms and whispered: "Actually, I want to tell you that I received this card when I was answering questions in the room this morning. "

"I don't know if this thing will help solve the case."

Qin Zhibo took the card, which read in printed font:

[If you want that book, go to the garage at five o'clock tomorrow morning. The book is under the chair in the back seat of the car]

The content on the card was obviously directing someone to the garage. Judging from the tone, it did sound like the murderer was trying to lure Kento Toha with the first edition of "A Study in Scarlet".

"I know about the note, please don't tell anyone else for now."

Toba Kento opened his mouth slightly and nodded with a slightly stunned expression, but in fact he was secretly happy.

be cheated!

"Then there's nothing for me to do here, right? I'm leaving first."

Toba Kento left the room, while Qin Zhibo held the card in his hand and also left the room.

At this time, Detective White Horse and Conan in the next room stuck their heads out and watched quietly.

"Did you hear clearly what they just said in the room?" Baima asked.

"No."

Conan shook his immature head.

Qin Zhibo took the card and walked through the back door of the hotel to the garage.

In the garage, the innkeeper's jeep has fallen off the cliff with the innkeeper. Another car in the garage is also in a scrapped state with a leaked fuel tank.

car back seat

Qin Zhibo opened the car door, and a faint smell of gasoline hit his nostrils.

Qin Zhibo frowned and looked into the dark space inside the car.

It is not easy to find the first edition of "A Study in Scarlet" under the car seat in such a dark environment. It requires light.

So Qin Zhibo took out his nuclear lighter

Of course it's impossible!

Qin Zhibo turned on his night vision goggles and searched in the slightly dim yellow-green field of vision.

However, there was nothing under the back seat of the car, and there was no promised first edition of "A Study in Scarlet" at all.

This further proves that the entire card is the killer's murderous ruse.

There are printer fonts on the card, indicating that the murderer prepared the card in advance and brought it over.

As for the method used, it should be that while the target is looking for the book in the back seat of the car with a lighter, he ignites the volatile gasoline here to kill.

However, according to the average person's IQ, although the smell of gasoline here is not very strong, it is not to the extent that it cannot be smelled.

I'm afraid it's not very smart to use a lighter here, right?

But at least that's how the murderer planned it.

In other words, the target of the murderer must at least be someone with a lighter.

Does Toba Kento have a lighter?

In the living room, Toba Kento was drinking coffee leisurely, and he was already ready to hear the "ring".

Just when he handed the card to Qin Zhibo, Kento Toba noticed that Qin Zhibo quietly slipped out of the back door. He must have followed the instructions on the card to go to the garage to look for the first edition of "A Study in Scarlet".

No Sherlock Holmes fan can resist the temptation of that book!

However, of course that precious first edition book cannot be in the garage, waiting there is only a death trap carefully laid by himself.

This trap was originally prepared for another person, but now that someone has figured out the method of killing the hotel owner, he has to focus on silencing him first.

But just when Toba Kento was full of confidence, the front door of the hotel suddenly opened, and Qin Zhibo came back.

Toba Kento's eyes widened and he looked in disbelief at Qin Zhibo who came back safe and sound.

"Mr. Qin, when did you go out?"

Both Mao Lilan and Aso Minoru were a little surprised by Qin Zhibo who suddenly came back from outside. Qin Zhibo walked directly to Toba Kento and asked: "The garage is too dark, I can't see clearly."

"Do you have a lighter?"

Hearing what Qin Zhibo said, Toba Kento was so shocked that his glasses almost fell off.

As a detective uncle, you don't even have a lighter?

You fake uncle!

In Toba Kento's impression, all uncle-level detectives have the habit of smoking and carrying lighters with them.

In fact, Toba Kento's idea was not wrong.

It's just that Qin Zhibo is not a qualified uncle. He has the appearance of an uncle, but his inner soul has not yet learned to smoke.

Conan, who was not far away, looked at Qin Zhibo with confusion on his face.

Doesn’t Qin Zhibo have a lighter?

Conan clearly remembered that the last time Qin Zhibo rescued him in the secret passage of the Blue Castle, he was holding a glowing and heating object that looked like a lighter.

Isn't that a lighter?

To be precise, that one is indeed not a lighter, but a nuclear lighter.
